A driving force in women’s golf

At the Clearview Golf Course in East Canton, Ohio – the first golf course in the U.S. designed, built, owned and operated by an African-American – women are taking part in Clearview Hope, the first golf program for female military veterans in America. It was begun by Renee Powell, the second African-American to play on the LPGA Tour. She and her brother, groundskeeper Larry Powell, talked with CBS News special correspondent James Brown about how her family did not let roadblocks stand in the way of their love for the sport, and how she uses the game to teach and heal service members who’ve sacrificed so much for our country.
